I own many Bluetooth speakers and this is one of my favorites. The quality of the device is top shelf. I enjoyed unpacking it and feeling the quality mesh and rubber of the speaker and it has a nice heaviness to it. Pairing is very easy, as are most Bluetooth speakers. I didn't even have to read the instructions, I just held down the power button until I saw a light flashing then paired it in my phone's Bluetooth settings. It features NFC paring but don't see it being easier than how I just mentioned. I immediately started playing some music and saw the nice lights on the device. I can imagine having a small party/get together and having this speaker nice and lit up. It adds a nice little bit of flare to your sounds. It goes through some patterns and move to the beat if you want it to. The sound quality was very good. The bass was nice, I wouldn't go as far as calling it extreme, but still good considering the size of the speaker. The highs were very crisp and clear, which is what I like for a casual Bluetooth speaker. It got it pretty loud, not all the way up yet, and it never got distorted. Overall I would highly recommend this speaker and really enjoyed using it. I cannot wait until I have a small get together so I can show it off.

My house is not huge by any means but my wi-fi coverage does lack in my basement. Maybe its the lead paint, maybe its the lead walls, but I do think there are some trace amounts of lead in my house. That's besides the point. So when I had the opportunity to extend my wi-fi coverage to my basement I jumped on it. In my basement is TV, Firestick, Wii, Xbox and Amazon Echo Dot all connected to wi-fi. Setup was very easy, I was able to do it online. I was up and running in a matter of minutes. I then ran a speed test in my basement and clocked the same speeds I get upstairs near the router. Success!! I was very happy to be getting some nice speeds in the area of my house that seemed to be a little off in terms of wireless performance. I highly recommend this product as it is one of the highest quality wireless extenders on the market, you get what you pay for!

Everything about these headphones are premium. The package, materials, feel, and sound.
When I received these I immediately plugged them in (wired) and started listening to my music. Wow! It was like listening to it all for the first time. Crystal clear audio, perfectly balanced. Not too much bass either. Then I charged them and tried them with Bluetooth. Even better. I can honestly sit back and listen to my music for hours. Battery is great too. The controls on board are also very easy to use. Overall I love these headphones and they have become my instant favorites!

First off, this is a very high quality feeling and looking device. That is where my amusement ended. The device first boots up asking you to register your Google account, which is fine. But then you have to go to your Google stand alone app and register which seemed a bit much due to the way it lost connection for no reason, then did a huge android update before it even finished setting up. So I had to wait about 20 minutes before I could even continue the setup.Then it was finally setup...or so I thought. The next step is to register a Sling account, which is also fine since this was built for that. That was OK for me, but if you do not already have an account you have to set one up. Then I wanted to set up the air TV feature, which is connect an antenna and watch your local channels. This was one of the biggest selling points. I excitingly removed my antenna from my TV and connected it to the coax usb adapter on the unit and ran the channel scan...epic fail. When connected to my TV directly I scanned about 20 channels using my TV's built in tuner. When I ran the channel scan on the AirTV I scanned 4. Same antenna, same placement, same weather conditions. I was extremely disappointed. I adjusted the antenna several times and rescanned about 4 times and the most it found was 8 on one occasion (not good channels either). The only cool thing is that it takes the channels and puts them in a guide like cable tv would with descriptions and everything. Supposedly you can also connect a hard drive and run a DVR like feature. That would be cool, but I will have to explore some sort of hardcore antenna to use this feature with more channels I actually want to watch. The Sling integration is great as it performs very much like my old CATV did with menus, channel listings and descriptions. I liked that. Overall I was not very happy with over the air broadcasts as I feel it is 50% of its appeal since Sling is meant to "cut the cable". Everything else on this device worked just as good as it's competitors like Amazon, Apple, Roku, etc.

I have never owned a Chromebook before but was very interested in this new 15" model. I was not disappointed. The first thing is that there is nothing special about the physical characteristics of it. Plastic flat gray shell, plain keyboard and screen. But it is lightweight and really gets the job done. The other thing I love about it is the Google Play Store integration. I can download any app that I use on my phone and access it on the laptop. This is a very awesome feature. I spent about a whole day just messing around with apps. Then this is "instant on" from a wake and sleep perspective. I know this is nothing new with Chromebooks but still worth mentioning when it comes to performance and speed. There are no moving parts in the laptop so everything is instant. The battery life is respectable, but not overwhelmingly good. That may be the only thing that I can say could be improved. It has an HDMI port that I have already used to watch TV from a streaming app I downloaded from the Play Store and watched on my TV. It is a better experience than using a browser. I also stream my browser to my TV via my Chromecast which is an extra plus. Overall I really love this laptop and it has quickly replaced my old HP Windows Laptop.

My initial impression of these earbuds was pretty good. The packaging was nice and the case and earbuds looked solid. Very nice and smooth and everything has a nice feel to it. The pairing of them was very simple as most bluetooth devices are. You just hold the button and it goes into pairing mode and I then synced it to my phone. Nothing unusual here. The fit was not very good. I personally found that none of the rubber tips included provided a comfortable fit. I actually had to grab a pair from the many pairs I already own to find one that fit well. I believe it is due to the way the large bulk of the earbud itself is supposed to fit in your outer ear. The included rubber cover for the body of the earbud does help keep it in place as well. The sound is very nice. The sound is very clear and the bass is just right. They don't sound over digitized. I enjoyed listening to music on them. Also, I noticed that video was NOT out of sync with the audio when using these. That is a common issue I have when using bluetooth earbuds. So that was nice. Flashing Lights!! There are too many flashing lights associated with these earbuds! They flash constantly a bright blue light when they are on, I mean constantly. When I use them at night to go to bed, the flashing blue lights light up the room. As of now I do not know if there is any way to disable them. When I am laying in bed the light actually bothers me if it reflects off the wall or some other object. I don't believe this helps the battery life. The case also lights up very bright as it charges the earbuds. I feel this this too is unnecessary. I just think subtle lights are all that is needed for earbuds, why go overboard with such bright lights flashing for every little thing? The battery life is very good, I have not had an issue with them dying on me in the middle of an activity. They will last me at least a day of normal use, with intermittent music. Maybe 3-4 hours of solid constant use. The case also gives them 2-3 more charges. Once in a while the sound fades in or out for no reason. So far it has only happened twice but hopefully doesn't become a constant issue. Overall I really like these headphones but they do leave a little to be desired.

I have always used Window's Defender up until now. I thought the free Microsoft application was all I needed. I was wrong. My computer was being attached by viruses every day it seemed. I was having items quarantined and hardware was starting to get effected. So I got this new Bitdefender Internet Security. It simply works.
Installation was super easy. You go to their website and register an account. Then you go to subscriptions and add your unique code. Then you install the software. It does the rest. Within minutes my computer was protected. I can also add it to 2 more computers. The Lenovo I installed it on was the most important though. So far I have not had any issues at all. It is monitoring my internet usage and blocking anything from getting to my computer. I can see the difference because I was having so many issues before I installed this.
I am very happy with this and it is worth the money. Free anti-virus software cannot give you the protection that this does. I am glad I installed it.

When I took this projector out of the box I thought it was too lightweight to be any good. But after using for the first time I was very impressed.
Initial setup was so easy and straightforward as are most projectors. There is a quick 4 screen setup menu when you first power it on and you are good to go.
I hooked up an amazon firestick to it and my Bose speaker to the audio out and I was watching cartoons with my daughters in a matter of minutes. Very impressed with the big bright and brilliant display. The girls were blown away. All that was missing was the popcorn (we ran out). We had to stop watching only for dinner. This has now become our favorite in house activity, especially since winter is here.
Overall I am very pleased with the projector and it has quickly become my family's favorite piece of tech.

I was so excited to receive this item that I could barely contain myself. I have so many "smart home" devices and have always considered getting an Alexa device such as an Echo to control it all. When I saw the UE Blast with built in Alexa control I could not resist. Then I received it... Once I received the speaker I immediately set it up. It required an app that helped set it up. The app does almost nothing other than get the speaker online to your wi-fi. It does not offer any other useful features, maybe to update the system software when need be. The real functionality comes form the Alex app. That links all of your smart devices to the speaker and also to your Amazon account. This was the most exciting part for me. After set up I wanted to test it out. So I asked Alexa to open Pandora and play one of my favorite stations. No she says. Although the Alexa app allows you to link your Pandora account the speaker is NOT compatible with Pandora. What?? Then I read the box and it shows that the speaker works with only like 3 apps, iHeart Radio, Tune In, and Amazon Music. Huh? I was so confused. I pay for Pandora premium, so not being able to use it via the built in Alexa is extremely disappointing. So I asked Alexa to "play me some music". She started to play some songs. They sounded familiar, like it was pulling from my Google Play music library. So I asked Alexa to play a specific song and she says no again. I then asked Alexa "where are you playing music from?" She said she wasn't sure. Literally said she wasn't sure. Ugh. I then asked her to change my thermostat's temperature and she said that she could not do that either. Wow. The novelty of Alexa wore off quickly, not only with me but with all 3 other members of my household. They actually are angry with her and want her to leave. Now the speaker itself is terrific, which is why i gave it 4 stars instead of 3. I love the crisp sound and the battery life is fantastic. I still have not needed to recharge it. It also gets very loud. I have to lower it sometimes since it is playing so loudly I don't even realize it. Overall I must say that the speaker works great as a portable waterproof rugged speaker, but you can say that about a lot of Bluetooth speakers. The Alexa feature was what was supposed to set it apart. That turns out to be the most disappointing feature on this device.

First I must say that I own a Ring video doorbell and subscribe to Xfinity Home security with 1 camera. When I got this camera system I really wanted to have something set up in my backyard and a way to check in on my dogs for when we leave them home alone.
Setting up these cameras was very easy, I think there was only one issue when setting up but it was not a big deal. I had everything up and running in about 15 minutes or so.
Once set up you must go into the settings and adjust the alerts. By default it set up a motion alert for every little thing that passes, including when you first try to place it and adjust it, then every time something passes it. I just shut the notifications off completely.
Now I can easily check in on my precious fur babies and even talk to them via the 2 way communication built into the camera. I highly recommend this system, I actually love it.

Was just advised by Norton rep (have Nighthawk 1900/r7000 + Ubee Spectrum modem & current Norton Internet Security Premium)
that I should "ADD the Core to my Nighthawk for enhanced security". Is this correct? So I'd connect Core to modem AND Nighthawk??
You could run the Core from an open Ethernet port from your Nighthawk, but may want to consider eliminating the Nighthawk and only run the Core since it protects all of your connected devices at the source (router).

Why is the Blue and Orange speaker more expensive (15 dollars!?) than the black one.
I just received the orange one and now see the black is 14 dollars less. Why?
